Purpose: The primary use of the records maintained in the system is to 1.) administer scientific archeological research within areas

and 2.) maintain a record of the research performed through the interim and final reports, and arrangements made to care for
collections through the curation agreement.

information contained in this system may be disclosed outside DOI or other Federal agencies as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(b)(3) to other federal, state, local, tribal or foreign governments and organizations, and members of the general public based

under the system of records notice for this system.
Disclosure: Voluntary, however, failure to provide the requested information may impede the institution, corporation, partnership,
individual, or other entity from obtaining a permit for archeological investigations.
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT
This information is being collected pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 470cc and 470mm, to provide the necessary facts to enable the
Federal land manager (1) to evaluate the applicant’s professional qualifications and organizational capability to conduct the
proposed archeological work; (2) to determine whether the proposed work would be in the public interest; (3) to verify the
adequacy of arrangements for permanent curatorial preservation, as United States property, of specimens and records
resulting from the proposed work; (4) to ensure that the proposed activities would not be inconsistent with any management
plan applicable to the public lands involved; to reports to Congress on Federal Archeology Programs; and (6) to allow Federal
agencies to evaluate Federal archeological protection programs and assess compliance with the Archaeological Resources
Protection Act of 1979 (16 U.S.C. 470cc). Submission of the information is required before the applicant may enjoy the benefit
of using publicly owned archeological resources. To conduct such activities without a permit is punishable by felony-level
